RAINPOINTWiFi Water Timer, Smart Hose Timer for Garden Hose, WiFi Irrigation Controller, Smart Sprinkler System Valve, APP & Voice Control, Weather-Based Automatic Rain Delay, Brass Inlet & Outlet

This is the fourth RainPoint product I’ve bought and I haven’t been dissatisfied yet. I own the manual timers (single and dual) and have been happy with the way they work - easy to set up, easy to program, works well - but wanted to try a WiFi enabled timer so I could adjust timing and turn on/off without having to go outside, especially to turn it off if rain is anticipated. The cost was decent too for the hub and timer pairing.Overall this is a great product. It was easy to set up the hub with the WiFi and the timer with hub. It took less than 5 minutes from box to set up. The hub is a little large which was disappointing but it does have a built in outlet so you don’t actually lose an outlet. Connection to the hose bib was easy, it makes a tight fit with no leaks. I applied a little plumbers tape out of habit. Brass fitting is a good feature too, making it a more solid product.The RainPoint app took a few minutes to get used to, it wasn’t as intuitive as I would have liked but perhaps will get easier over time. I like that it has three different schedules you can set and go back and forth between them as needed throughout the season. You don’t have to go out and set it manually and then remember your settings for the next time. The manual on/off (with time setting) was useful for setting up the sprinkler. You can turn it on and off from time phone without having to go back to the hose bib while you’re trying to position your sprinkler which is very convenient. The on/off button in the app had about a second delay though which was unexpected and a tad annoying but still better than going to the hose bib multiple times.I haven’t seen the intelligent weather response yet so I can’t speak to that feature. But I was able to turn it off manually with sprinkling rain from the phone. I also can’t speak to how well the hub works with multiple timers, and hub placement between multiple timers, but I plan to get one or more timers since this product has been so good thus far!

I purchased the RAINPOINT WiFi Water Timer specifically to help manage topping off the water in our pool, and its going to save me a lot of money. The days of putting a hose in the pool and then forgetting about it—only to waste hours of water—are hopefully behind me for good!The setup was quick and painless. Connecting the unit to our home Wi-Fi was fast and easy.The system comes with two components: a gateway unit that plugs into a standard house outlet and connects to your Wi-Fi, and a remote unit that attaches to the outdoor faucet and hose. The remote runs on four AA batteries, and while I haven’t had it long enough to confirm the year-long battery life claim, the app displays battery levels clearly so I can stay ahead of any issues.The iPhone app is simple, intuitive, and works great on my iPhone, and the app in the gateway controller will support multiple remote units. Setting up the timer is super convenient, and it gives me peace of mind knowing I can start and stop water flow with just a tap.Overall, I’m very pleased with this purchase. It was a bit on the pricey side, but seems to be a well-thought-out product that solves a real-world problem and does it with ease. Highly recommended!

I purchased 2 of these to auto-water my flower pots, hanging baskets and window box planters because I often forget to water and my plants would die. I coupled them with a small diameter water hose kit designed for this purpose. It worked great. I wanted WiFi, Alexa integration, and iPhone control for easy to use app controlled scheduling. This timer had everything I was looking for, and unlike other timers with PLASTIC faucet connectors that develop cracks easily , this has quality metal fittings for durability and no leaks. Also I recently contacted customer service and was pleasantly surprised at how fast they responded and resolved one issue I had. I would definitely recommend.

As a beginner gardener, I’ve been experimenting with different ways to keep my small garden plot beside the house hydrated without spending too much time with a hose. I finally decided to try out a drip irrigation system, and this one has been a game-changer!Setup: I was a little worried about the installation, but it turned out to be pretty straightforward. The instructions were clear, and I didn’t need any extra tools beyond what was in the kit. I have a 10x10 plot, so it was easy to map out where I wanted the lines to go.Performance: Living in the Midwest, I was looking for something that could stand up to changing weather and wasn’t a hassle. This system has worked perfectly for my tomatoes, peppers, and herbs. I can already see a difference – my plants look healthier, and I love how consistent the water delivery is compared to my usual routine.Adjustability: One of my favorite things is how I can adjust the flow to each plant. I wasn’t sure how much water each type needed, but this kit makes it easy to experiment. Plus, it’s saving me time, which is nice with the app and when I'm away from home for work.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I ordered one about 6 months ago and was very happy with the quality brass fittings, ease of setup, connectivity and reliability. I have since ordered four more.I have read reviews saying the hub only supports three irrigation timers, but I have four connected to one hub and they work fine. I bought an additional timer, so I will need to buy an additional hub to support it.I love being able to modify settings remotely to adjust for weather and season. I also like being able to water based on time or quantity. Definitely a keeper.
